Food Glorious Food

 More time and still in the house most of the time. Luckily Jeff and I have lots to do on the computer, reading and TV. On Thursday I took an excellent OLLI class on Reconstruction and the National Parks. One of the park rangers was at Petersburg Battlefield. Jeff and I visited there in January on our trip to Virginia which made the talk very interesting for me. I walked on the nature trail as the weather has been gorgeous. In the evening I had my African American class which I find fascinating and learning so much. Later we watched the presidential debate.

Friday I met Joan at Lake Somerset to go over Hadassah stuff. It is nice to be outside and a plus for living in the south where we have temperate weather most of the year. When I got home we had some excitement as two of my neighbors spotted this young gator hanging near the water drain. 

Later Jeff and I drove to Beaufort where we picked up lunch and had a picnic. We sat on a hillside under a huge live oak tree overlooking the water. It was so lovely and Sirius and I took a nice walk too.

Saturday I attended a Bar Mitzvah on ZOOM for a friend's grandson all the way from Indianapolis. He did a great job. Mazel Tov Rafael! Another celebration today was the 78th birthday of our dear friend, Bob. An afternoon ZOOM got many friends and family together to fete the birthday guy.

Sunday should have been the annual Shalom Y'all Food Festival. Jeff and I enjoy volunteering there and sad that it is cancelled this year. There will be a virtual celebration. There was a video from two years ago that was on a local Savannah TV station about the event.

We did salvage the day with a driveway visit with Judy & Sam, Jan & Harvey.

Monday was a busy day with Jeff having outpatient surgery on his shoulder. He had a large tear in the rotator cuff and thank goodness did not need a should replacement. He will have to wear this cumbersome sling for six weeks and then do physical therapy. He is a good patient and managing quite well. On Wednesday we drove to the doctor's office in Hilton Head to have the bandages removed and permission to take a shower!

Wednesday morning I guided a nature tour on the Hidden Cypress Front Nine. It was a beautiful day and we saw a few fox squirrels, deer, a kingfisher and assorted songbirds and waders. At night I had two ZOOMS and then we watched TV.
